Ecologic meets Business Logic!
It's all about friction
It's all about friction
The ship’s friction is the most significant driver of ship resistance, having a direct impact on fuel consumption and the emission of greenhouse gasses. Reducing friction not only makes sense from an environmental perspective, but also from an economic perspective.
Our patented solution, FluidicAL, is an advanced Fluidic Air Lubrication solution that offers significant reductions in the ship’s friction, when sailing. The solution is unique in its use of Fluidics to generate micro air bubbles with a high degree of control, maintaining an air layer that covers the largest area of any existing solution.
Payback period of 2-3 years
Payback period of 2-3 years
The potential reduction of friction is spectacular and so are the reductions of fuel consumption, GHG emissions, and fouling. You can expect a net decrease of fuel costs of 8-15 % and a payback period of 2-3 years at design speed! The MPS Fluidic Air Lubrication System enables you to contribute to a better world, while fundamentally reducing your operating costs. Ecologic meets business logic!
Worldwide installation
Worldwide installation
We offer FluidicAL as a vessel centric solution, ensuring integration with existing onboard technology. Only minimal structural modifications to the hull are necessary. The system is upgradable and can be serviced during port calls. MPS can retrofit your vessel at your preferred shipyard worldwide.
